…an exceptional treat: story & of course, music . Please listen!
1882. Ο Franz Liszt, φίλος και πεθερός του Richard Wagner είναι προσκεκλημένος του στο Palazzo Vendramin-Calergi, στη Βενετία.
Περπατώντας δίπλα σ’ ένα κανάλι, βλέπει μια πομπή από νεκρώσιμες γόνδολες. Έχει μια ξαφνική διαίσθηση για τον επικείμενο θάνατο του φίλου του. Το πρώτο σχεδίασμα του κομματιού La Lugubre gondola[Η Μαύρη Γόνδολα] γίνεται την ίδια μέρα.
Πράγματι …ο Wagner θα πέθαινε μετά από δυο μήνες, από καρδιακή προσβολή.
Στο podcast, οι δύο βερσιόν για πιάνο, από τους Maurizio Pollini και Arcadi Volodos…
“Bonus track”, η Βαγκνερικών καταβολών ορχηστρική μεταφορά του κομματιού από τον κορυφαίο των συνθετών που σύνδεσαν το όνομά τους με τον μινιμαλισμό, John Adams.✻
1882. Franz Liszt, a friend and father-in-law of Richard Wagner, is a guest of his, in the Palazzo Vendramin-Calergi in Venice.
Walking along a canal, he sees a series of funeral gondolas. He has a sudden intuition about the imminent death of his friend. The first sketch of the piece La Lugubre Gondola [The Black Gondola] is made right then.
Indeed, Wagner would die two months later of a heart attack.
On the podcast, the two versions for piano, interpreted by Maurizio Pollini and Arcadi Volodos.
“Bonus track”, the Wagner – influenced orchestral version of the piece, arranged by the great John Adams.◼︎
